<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) The supplication of an oppressed person is readily answered, if he supplicates against his oppressor to suffer something similar to or less than the harm he inflicted upon him. If he supplicates beyond that, he has thus transgressed. Allah Almighty answers the supplication of an oppressed person, even if he is a disbeliever, not out of love for him, but out of love for justice.<br> 2) We are urged to seize the opportunity for supplication during travel. This is because a traveler is in temporary need, and when a person in need supplicates his Lord, He responds to him.<br> 3) The supplication of a parent, whether it is the father or mother, for or against his child is readily answered. As for his supplication for his child, it is answered because he makes it out of mercy and compassion towards him. His supplication against him is answered because the parent would not supplicate against his child except if the child deserves it.
